Re: [MMUSIC] [rtcweb] What goes into c= line address when FQDN is used for the default candidate?

[Justin Uberti <[e-mail]>]

My recommendation here would be that we do c=IN IP6
3557773f-5f01-46a4-aa14-54ab35b3d778.local, with either IP4 or IP6
depending on which type of address is being wrapped.

Re #1: RFC 4566 seems to indicate you can use either IP4 or IP6 for FQDN in
the c= line.

     unicast-address =     IP4-address / IP6-address / FQDN / extn-addr


Re #2: Quoth 5245 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5245#section-15.1>:

   <connection-address>:  is taken from RFC 4566
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4566> [RFC4566
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4566>].  It is the
      IP address of the candidate, allowing for IPv4 addresses, IPv6
      addresses, and *fully qualified domain names (FQDNs).*  When parsing
      this field, an agent can differentiate an IPv4 address and an IPv6

      address by presence of a colon in its value - the presence of a
      colon indicates IPv6.  An agent MUST ignore candidate lines that
      include candidates with IP address versions that are not supported
      or recognized.  An IP address SHOULD be used, but an FQDN MAY be
      used in place of an IP address.  In that case, when receiving an
      offer or answer containing an FQDN in an a=candidate attribute,
      the FQDN is looked up in the DNS first using an AAAA record
      (assuming the agent supports IPv6), and if no result is found or
      the agent only supports IPv4, using an A.  If the DNS query
      returns more than one IP address, one is chosen, and then used for
      the remainder of ICE processing.
